Bobby Tillman's Killers Represent The Black Brute Theory

Some black folks take pride in the brutish image that society has of them. Take the case of Bobby Tillman into consideration. After my last post,I would be remiss if I didn't call out the black cowardly brutes who killed a good,18 year old black man. Because it's not just cops that are brutalizing & murdering innocent black men.

You see,there are some evil black people who assault,maim,& kill their own kind out of jealousy. It's no different than any other race. Jealousy & envy is a human trait. As the saying goes,there is more than one rotten apple on every tree.

Bad cops that kill innocent human beings are bad apples. And the black men who killed Bobby Tillman represent apples that are badly spoiled as well. It is unequivocally wrong to equate every black man with these evil beings. Contrary to popular belief,black does not represent evil.

Since blacks were described as being less than human by 19th century scientists,we are held to a different standard. Here's more on that from ScienceBlog:

"Crude historical depictions of African Americans as ape-like may have disappeared from mainstream U.S. culture, but research presented in a new paper by psychologists at Stanford, Pennsylvania State University and the University of California-Berkeley reveals that many Americans subconsciously associate blacks with apes.

In addition, the findings show that society is more likely to condone violence against black criminal suspects as a result of its broader inability to accept African Americans as fully human, according to the researchers.

Co-author Jennifer Eberhardt, a Stanford associate professor of psychology who is black, said she was shocked by the results, particularly since they involved subjects born after Jim Crow and the civil rights movement. “This was actually some of the most depressing work I have done,” she said. “This shook me up. You have suspicions when you do the work—intuitions—you have a hunch. But it was hard to prepare for how strong [the black-ape association] was—how we were able to pick it up every time.” (END OF EXCERPT) Read the whole article here.

Being black seems to be synonymous with being evil & inhuman. For instance,why is evil magic called black magic & good magic called white magic? I could go on & on,but I know that you get the point.

So,the monsters who killed Bobby Tillman support the black brute theory. But,good guys like Bobby Tillman refute that way of thinking. It's up to our young black youth to decide how they want to be portrayed. Will you substantiate the black brute image or will you tear that image down? Only you can decide.

Here's more on what happened to Bobby Tillman from CNN:

"Sheriff Phil Miller told CNN the attack happened after girls got into a fight, and one of the girls hit a boy. One of the suspects, according to Miller, said he wasn't going to "hit a girl," but the next guy who came by was going to get "beat down."

Tillman was the unfortunate victim, and he was a "little guy, 18 years old, 5-foot-6, weighed 125 pounds," said Miller, who added that he didn't think the boys even knew each other.

The suspect went to Douglas County High School, while Tillman went to Chapel Hill, the sheriff said.

"As a parent who is about to bury her child, you wonder why. Why didn't anyone help?" asked Rivarde.

A judge ordered no bail for the suspects until they can speak with an attorney. All but Franklin, whose mother told the judge she had already hired a lawyer for her son, asked for court-appointed counsel.

"I don't even want to think about those cowards," said Tillman's mother. "Hopefully they get life in prison for what they did."

Police arrived on the scene early Sunday. They were called by the mother of the girl who had hosted the party after it had gotten out of control. Miller said there were 60 to 80 people at the party. Fifty-seven witnesses were taken in for questioning.

After the initial hearing, the sheriff responded to criticism from parents who complained about partygoers being bused in from the party to the police station, and held without their permission.

"This is not about the sheriff's office or the inconveniences about solving a murder case," Miller said. "And that's what we did, and that's what we're proud of."

The Douglas County district attorney stood next to the victim's mother, calling the attack "an absolutely unprovoked senseless killing" of a "completely innocent victim."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the article in its entirety here.
